You have to cut the last triplet to go back playing the bass on the beat. <br>This is a basic C chord, can be used with any chord. I show the beat with a vertical bar underneath (four notes to a beat). <br><br><br>------1------1------1-----<br>--------2-------2---------<br>--------------------------<br>---3------3-------3----3--<br><br> | | | <br><br><br>I shall put similar things on my blog, it may not interest that many people, but you still gave me the idea!

In fact I have a song based entirely around it, I wrote it in my early twenties...or maybe earlier. <br><br>I think we must both have a craving for non-primitive rhythm and sound; anyone can play a rock beat, &quot;traditional&quot; classical and even flamenco is (ducks for cover) still pretty primitive rhythm - but takes a lot of skill to play of course. Whereas that seemingly innocuous riff I put down, quite simple looking, will test the average guitar players brain :) <br><br>(I just did this reply as one of the new wordpress email replies, I wonder how it will go?) <br><br>JAWJason Waddellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140232930378188483.post-84734206705836918492010-12-19T13:45:52.000-08:002010-12-19T13:45:52.000-08:00[...] brain “on track”.
